UPDATE: A rodent infestation is said to be the cause of the school’s closure. The Division of Education, Research and Technology (DERTech) in Tobago announced the early dismissal of the Signal Hill Government Primary School on Thursday (18th January, 2024), due to what it called “health and safety concerns.” The school remained closed on Friday.
The news came on the same day the Ministry of Health revealed that T&T recorded its first COVID-19 case belonging to the JN.1 sub-variant category. According to a Media Release issued on Thursday, DERTech said, “In our steadfast commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of our staff and students, DERTech has collaborated with the Public Health Department of the Division of Health, Wellness, and Social Protection to promptly address the current issue. Consequently, the school will remain closed on Friday, January 19, 2024. DETech expresses gratitude for the understanding and co-operation of all stakeholders during this temporary closure. Further updates on the school's reopening will be communicated over the course of the weekend.” DERTech re-introduced safety protocols in all schools on the island earlier this week. A previous Media Release from the Division noted that there has been a notable increase in the number of persons exhibiting flu-like symptoms associated with Influenza and COVID-19, and as such, a decision had to be made. “As a precautionary measure, the Division of Education, Research and Technology advises all Principals to reactivate all the related COVID-19 protocols at their respective schools,” the Media Release noted. The Division advised further that Principals from Early Childhood Care and Education Centres (ECCE), as well as Primary and Secondary Schools, pay particular attention to entry protocols, sanitization facilities — including sinks and cleaning agents — and sick bays.
